Do any of you run them through the winter?

I have some stock ones that have been chromed, and I was wondering how they will hold up?

I also have some stock silver ones I can swap tires over and run those...but I wanted to see who else goes chrome in the white stuff.

I ran mine through 2 NJ winters and they still look great.

MAG Chloride in CO killed 2 sets on my 03.

And I waxed the hell out of them and kept them as clean as I could. MC2 chromed stockers.

Man, I am not sure they use that crap around here. I know they dump globs of salt on the road though. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif That is the one thing I hate about VT...the slush when the DOT dumps salt on the roads. Back roads *dirt* only get sand, so that is nice. I remember when I was in Montana and they were using ashes...that was cool! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I might go with the silver ones...safer than sorry I guess...who knows. If there is a chance they will be ruined - I would rather not take the chance.
